Our experts give your grass the proper care so that it remains healthy in hiking and biking weather and even in snowshoe conditions.

Here's what lawn care looks like in Benton Harbor:

Best Grass Types for Benton Harbor

No matter where you’re located on the mitten, the best grass types for Michigan are cool-season varieties. Our pros recommend:

• Kentucky Bluegrass: The Wolverine State (sorry Spartan fans) cannot go wrong with this variety, which forms a long-lasting turf when maintained. With its rich color and dense growth, KBG is the most popular grass type in the state. 
• Tall Fescue: For grass that does not require a lot of maintenance and withstands diseases and pests, tall fescue is an excellent choice. It is low-maintenance, has low fertility requirements, and is drought-tolerant. 
• Fine Fescue: Unlike tall fescue, which grows best when it is not mixed with other grass species, fine fescue grows best when combined with KBG. When the two are mixed, they produce a low-maintenance lawn that performs well in the shade.

How Often Should You Mow Your Lawn? For the best results, cut the lawn weekly from April to November. Between October and November, grass growth slows; your mowing frequency should reduce also.

Common Lawn Pests and Diseases in Benton Harbor

To help you maintain an impressive landscape, LawnStarter can treat common lawn pests and diseases. Michigan experiences:

• Sucking and Chewing Insects: These pests eat grass or suck the juices out of grass blades, leaving turf yellow, brown, and patchy. Nuisances like chinch bugs, armyworms, and billbugs are some of the most common invaders.
• Fungal Diseases: Brown patch, bacterial wilt, gray snow mold, and gray leaf spot are amongst the most prevalent diseases in the Mitten State.
